I hesitated at first, thinking it needed to be edited down to make it significantly shorter. But the 30 minutes of raw footage is such an intimate view into one of the more magical shoots I have ever had.

A huge thank you to elephant journal’s Waylon Lewis and Lindsey Block (who shot and edited the video) for coming along and capturing the day. ~ Robert Sturman
